    I have one of the new Rail trailers picked it up in Hutchins, TX, 120001, I like the way it tows, I like the fuel mileage sitting in Wichita Falls, TX dead head to Amarillo from Hutchins, so far on this short run I am averaging 10.7 MPG that is doing 63, I have abour 3.5 hours to go and I may start the morning doing 57-59 we shall see how high I can get my mileage. This load will get me home to PHX for a few days someone will repower it to deliver in Cali.

    New York was fine got through easy avoided the Bronx since a Yankee game had just gotten out. Now sitting in Amarillo, TX waiting for Americold, 1st experience that I am actually a little upset with got here at 9:30 he said you will be in a door within the hour and now 4 hours later I have watched 5 drivers who got here after me dock and go. I usually could care less but I need to get this to PHX for the repower to California so I can get my hometime and the load gets to 90 on time, these guys are just delaying that. I sent a Qualcom message to my FM and he said he was going to give them a call. We will see now my 14 i running down to 6:45 left.

    That sucks and what sucks worse is getting the companies to actually charge for the detention time. The company Im leased to pays me detention when and if they bill and collect it,otherwise I get the big stiffy. My solution to that was to refuse loads to know abusers of my time. I still get suckered once in a blue moon but not as much anymore as I used to. One time is a minor annoyance,everytime i go to your place of business and getting hung up is cause to not do business with you imho.

    Hope everything turns out alright for you Cage... just let your FM know about your plans. Shouldn't be a problem at all extending your stay as long as you need it to be.
